    How to Get the Quietest MRI Experience?

    To follow up on this for anyone else. I went to Princeton Radiology Quakerbridge, New Jersey location. I had a great experience and my tinnitus is at the same level. No change since (2 weeks later). MRI is 101 dB at highest. I opted not to do with contrast because, although rare, I am afraid of...

    It was a brain scan. On Google it says Siemens. The double ear protection did the most work. The whole environment appears as if they want to give a calming experience. There were breaks in between the noise as well.

    It actually went well. They had double protection for me with calm music. I went to princeton radiology. Foam plugs and -29db headphones. Still kind of loud but the scan was only 20 minutes and somewhat peaceful.

    Hyperacusis / Reactive Tinnitus / Hearing Distortion

    Same going on 2+ months for me. Fans, car engines, AC, air planes, etcetera all give me distortion sounds. Even some voices. I wish I knew what caused it. I do have eustachian tube dysfunction and head pressure. I have a brain MRI this week. Hopefully it goes smoothly. Best of luck.

    How to Get the Quietest MRI Experience?

    So I have no choice but to do a brain MRI with contrast to check for Multiple Sclerosis. Last year they found some lesions so they want to do a follow up. I called Armonk White Plains hospital and they said it's 110-118 dB for their "Silent MRI" machine. They said a brain scan is 45 minutes...

    Anyone Else Have Extreme Head, Neck and Face Pressure with Clogged Ears?

    Well that's unfortunate. The lady at the front desk asked me for my symptoms and because I didn't have any jaw pain, she said I should see my PCP first. I'll do a Neuro appointment first. I'm hoping all of this is from some anxiety I haven't yet recognized.

    Anyone Else Have Extreme Head, Neck and Face Pressure with Clogged Ears?

    I saw the ENT today. He said I should most likely see a Neurologist to rule everything out. I asked if he's seen people with ETD issues have head pressure as well, he said he's "seen everything" and based on my history of having neuropathy due to a vitamin deficiency last year, he said I should...

    Any Danger in Getting a Hearing Test or Having Custom Earplugs Fitted?

    I got a new distortion sound after custom fitting but it could be because they push the mold into the ear and therefore so does the wax. I get my ears checked tomorrow since I still have the wax in my ears so hopefully the new sound/distortion leaves.

    Tinnitus from Wellbutrin

    From my research, it's best to taper off. Speak with your doctor about it and then wait a few months to see if there are improvements.

Mine was for 10 months last year until I was diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency. It was full body and I went to about 10+ specialists. I definitely...

    Tinnitus from Antacid (Pepcid AC) or Noise?

    It could be the club. But I am not sure since I never had any ringing, ear fullness or discomfort. I told my ENT that but she said it wouldn't show up that late but who knows. I know some people get it from noise over time but I've probably gone clubbing 3x in the last year. It just started one...

    Tinnitus from Antacid (Pepcid AC) or Noise?

    Hello, I made an account because I took my first prescription drug, Pepcid (Famotidine) and my tinnitus began 48 hours later. My ENT said it was stress induced but I really do not know what could have caused it. Hopefully, it fades for us both. I only took one 25mg pill 7 weeks ago as well.
